ASUS Eee PC 1015PE Unboxing
Jun 7th
We have been expecting the ASUS Eee PC 1015PE to show up for sale already and now selling in Italy at some brick and mortar stores as well as online priced at 349 euros.
Riccardo from EeePC.it has unboxed a red model with a satin finish on the lid and palm rests. It has also a matte display (1024 x 600). The specs for his model: Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Windows 7 Starter (with ExpressGate) and a 6-cell 4400 mAh battery good for up to 10.5 hours.
Hands on video below, but it’s in Italian:

MeeGo 1.0 For Netbooks Preview
Apr 15th
MeeGo 1.0 for netbooks has finally shown itself on video. First video just shows a basic overview of the menus, on an Acer Aspire One 532g netbook and the other video shows video playback through video player software downloaded from the Intel App store, on a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 netbook.
On the outside nothing seems to be radically different from Moblin apart from some GUI changes and MeeGo branding.
Brief overview of the MeeGo 1.0 menus:
The Download is not allready avaliable. We have to whait some days.
eeePC 701 Tablet Mod
Mar 10th
The ASUS Eee PC 701 is back yet again with yet another slate tablet mod purposely made for those occasions where the modder wanted to verify actor roles at IMBD in front of the TV. He bought a used Eee PC 701 and touchscreen kit off of Ebay and proceeded to hack the innards with details that go over my head. He is going the Linux route and I’d be pretty interested to see that how goes with a touch screen.
Just a couple of pictures for now but I’m hoping he’ll add some more stuff to see.
